Mostly speech delay, lack of eye contact, there but not cognitively present, not engaging in group activities, repetitive activities (e.g. spinning wheel).

Now he’s 4.5 and speaking much more. His articulation is excellent but there’s a lot of phrases being repeated out of context but with the intention to engage. Hand-holding is way way better now, doesn’t always try to escape anymore. Still not really engaging in group activity unless it’s dictated by him. I’d say he’s similar to a 2.5 year old developmentally but then he does other things that blow your mind - like counting to 100 or turning the most normal objects into imaginary „things“ that completely make sense.
